Running 6.3 today as a recovery run....ran 7 yesterday with some pretty good climes in my new mountain masochist and really enjoyed the feel.
QOTD: I'm a man so I wait until at least the 23rd to start shopping for Christmas
Probably SRD or cycling due to the wonky ankle and work.
QOTD: I am almost there. We are going fairly low budget, but I got my bride so good creature comforts and got some Lego sets for the boys. Mom gets some new trekking poles for hiking. Woohoo!
A shortened 3.1 this early AM. We finally are getting some cold weather which was refreshing. A cool crisp 1 degree when I left the house. Snotsicles abound when I got back. Have a great day all!
QOTD: We have not started but it is about to get crazy in the house. Can I hide presents at your place?

SRD here after the Weekend Back to back.
Got confirmation that I am INDEED drawn for Way Too Cool 50k.
Only things I've bought are Secret Santa gifts for the Charity run. I'm sure my wife will tell me what we bought for folks.

running under the BigSky
strength training this evening, the week looks promising weather wise- we will be moderating into the mid 30's- while I'll run in the single digits and teens- I much prefer 30's
qotd: I think we are just about done gift shopping, took this qotd reminder and got some of it done this morning!
2023 goal 2023 miles √
2022 goal- 2022 miles √
2021 goal- 2021 miles √
6.5ish miles on trails near my house (about 4 actually on trails.) Foggy, warm, 100% humidity. My asthma was not happy with this run, and my legs were still feeling pretty heavy from my long trail run on Saturday. Still worth going out!
QOTD: 0% Christmas shopping done. Most Hanukkah shopping done, minus one gift!
Donate to my NYC Marathon fundraiser for Every Mother Counts!

SRD today as the legs are tired from yesterday's half marathon. Some core wotk and beer recovery is on tap for tonight watching the Texans Patriots game.
Be well,

Five this am. I think the ITB is tighting up so need to dust off that roller thingy.
QOTD: I haven't started but then I am done. I buy nothing and I expect nothing. Like Sugnim her QOTD answer fits mine perfectly. I will celebrate chritmas but not buy a thing.
Northern: If you think you need a rest day take it, but go for a walk in the snow.
valerieNV: I like how you shop.
RockyII: I am also in for Way Too Cool.

I'm planning on doing 5 after work today. Yesterday's high was 80 deg, tonight we're supposed to go down to about 31 deg, welcome to December in Texas. Just depends on whether the wind is from the south or north The cool temps will feel good though.
No love for me in the MMT lottery today - man I have the worst luck. I'm not holding out too much hope for the HR lottery on Sunday either. In the words of the great Ray Charles.... "if it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all."
qotd: Haven't started yet, but this year is going to be low key.

ASU: Nice job getting into MMT !!!!!!
I was off by just a few numbers... but in the wrong direction, unofficially I'm 200 out of 203 on the waitlist - I could barely have done worse.

Holy shit Sandy!!! I did almost as good in the lottery and I didn't even enter!
Dang that sucks big time. I would tell you to stick it out on the wait list as people have told me a lot get picked off of it but I'll be blunt and say that 200 out of 203 is not a good number. So sorry man. Maybe that's just a sign that HR should be your focal point next year.
